An Open Letter to YYine-Makers.

GENTLEMEN: Believing that you are
not insensible to the best interests Of
mankind, and recognizing the great and
growing wine interests Of this State, and
also the great temperance army, who
need some pleasant unalcohoic drink as
a beverage and for the table, seek to
bring this want and supply together.
And for this purpose ask you to put up
some unfermented wine-that is the pure
juice Of the grape-having no deleterious
substance in it. You are the proper per-
sons to experiment in this direction. [
presume to ask this of you on the ground
of your common humanity, and also as
a financial venture. The thing sought
will certainly be found-demand and
supply always keep company. Suppose
you try some Of the methods already in
use by private families until some better
ways are found to preserve the Juice
from fermentation. One of these
methods is by pasteuring; that is, heat
ing to destroy the germs which cause
fermentation, and tiltering or straining.
First cheat to lGO degrees, keeping it at
this temperature for some time, then
carefully tiltering or straining, and again
heating to 160 degrees, before bottllng.
1t must be put in the bottles hot. The
bottles may be washed out with a
salicyEc solution to make sure Of killing
all the germs. The coIks must be care
fully disinfected, as it is they that COM
monty start the trouble inside. When
putting them in the bottle take the corks
out of hot salicylic solution" No
salicylic acid or other injurious substance
must be put in the wine, as this would
defeat the object OF this enterprise
pleasant, healthy drink. The reward
offered to him who shall discover the
best method of preserving unfermented
vine is q fortune to himself and the ever
lasting blessing of mankind.

Tea Us Il Beverage.

Use china or porcelain pot. II you
DO use metal, let it be tin, new, bright
and clean; never use it when tie tin IS
worn out and iron exposed. II you do,
you are playing chemist and forming a

Use black tea. Green tea when good

bad, very bad and horrible. Besides
containing the 2V3 authorizations tie Chi

though, to buy good tea at the outset.
Put your pot on the back part OF the
stove, carefully covered, SO that it shall
not lose its heat, and the tea its bouquet.
Let it remain there five minutes, then
drink it.
Drink your tea plain. Don't add milk
or sugar. Tea-brokers and tca-tasters
never do; epicrres never do; the Chinese
never do. Milk contains iibrin. ;il3u-

4 FAMOUS LION SLAYER.
The Red Ribbon of France Given to an
Arab Hunter.
lParis Letter in LONDON Telegraph.l .

paris Letter in London Telegraph.)
Among the notabilities on whom the
red ribbon of the Legion Of Honor has
been conferred this new year is hero
whose one ambition for more than
quarter Of century has been to win it
by his valor and prowess. Ahmed-ben
Ahmar, the famous slayer of lions in the
Province OF Constantine, in Algeria, has
even surpassed the celebrated Jules
Gerard in his achievements. So great
is the number of the king Of beasts that
he las caused to bite the dust that the
local authorities to save themselves from
the impending ruin have had to cut
down the reward offered for every lions
skin to one-half in his case. It will give
your readers an idea of the services
which this brave Arab rendered to the
colony when say that it is estimated
that his skill and pluck have from first
to last saved it from losses IN the shape
Of the cattle killed and devoured by the
fierce animals with which he has waged
an incessant war, amounting to nearly
el, ,000,0O0 sterling. This calculation is
based on the fact that the butchers bill
Of each separate lion reaches the respec.
table sum OF ;e400 per annum. 1t would
be interesting to learn how many human
lives which might otherwise have been
sacrificed have also been prolonged
through the timely intervention Of
Ahmed -ben-Ahmar. He has at length
obtained the recompense which he covet-
ed far more than The gold meted out to
him for every fresh skin which he
brought to the station.

Attacking the CIVIL Service Commission.

Something ike a sensation was caused
in the District Supreme Court in the
general term in Washington by the pre-
sentation of a petition attacking the
Civil Service Commission, and asserting
the unconstitutionality OF the law by
virtue of which it exists. The paper is
headed, "a petition OF rights by Meris 5.
Miller, of Alder Creek, Oneida county,
New York, for redress in . case where
a. P. Edgerton, J. H. Obc-ly and
Charles Lyman, commissioners, and
others are trespassers upon his civil and
political rights and privileges by exer
cising unlawful authority and powers. J"
The petition asks for IN order or judg-
ment, restraining, enjoining and pro
hibiting the commissioners and any and
ell persons from exercising the illegal
and unconstitutional powers set forth,
and such other and further redress as
the court shall deem meet to Indicate,
the liberties OF the petitioner, and which
viii adjudge, determine ana declare, that
the people Of the United States are not
subjects, but sovereign citizens; that the

beard created by the Legislative branch
OF the government powers OF selection
and appointment to Office expressly re-
served to the President by tic Coustitu
ton. Various other reasons arc also set
out in the paper. 1t is believed tl-at
this proceeding IS first taken with u view
to testing the legality OF the Commits
sioo's existence. After the petition ;lad
been presented the court stated that tie
matter came up in such shape that It
would be necessary to consider whether
it should be taken up directly upon the
basis of petition OF be allowed to co4e

No Hands.
(Frcm tie New York ssar.)
At ten o'clock on Thursday evening
Johanna Brewer, domestic in the family
OF DR.. Emil Truening, No. l3 east Eighty
third street, heard suspicious noise in
the dining room, and entering, saw in
the dim light that came from gas lamp
in the street, the figure of a man crouch
ing behind the table. Johanna was alone
in the use, so he ran into the street
making an outcry that attracted two
colored men who were passing at the
time. The men ran into the house, Sc
cured the intruder in chair, and one of
them stood guard over him while the
other went in search Of a policeman.
That worthy arrived full Of importance
at being called to arrest a burglar, and
produced his handouts to shacsle the
prisoner, when he discovered that he
had no hands, both having been ampu-
tated close to the wrists.
At the Eighty.eighth street police
station the man gave his name as John
Murphy, and said that being homeless
and hungry, he had found the basement
door Of the house open and had gone IN
to ask for shelter and food.
In the Harlem Court Friday, Justice
Welde sent the unfortunate man to the
care OF the Commissioners Of Charities
and Correction, refusing to entertain a
charge of burglary against q man with
out hands.

HOW Some Tempe>t-To>scd Mariners Got

(From the Galveston, Tex N"ws)
The steamer Victoria was not the only
unfortunate vessel that encountered the
severe storm in the Western Ocean and
had to put back for repairs before reach
ing this port. In conversation with g
gentleman vino has had considerable Of
fhfe,on thelocean waves, he gave a har-
rowing description OF tie experience OF
the steamer Darlington IN the same vio-
lent storm that disabled the Victoria and
crippled three ofher crew. On the day
OF the typhoon high waves rolled the
saip as if It We're but a cork on the sur
face It was impossible for the men to
keep their feet, and all who could took
refuge in their hunks. The sails were
blown away. All the dishes and cooking
utensils were broken and destroyed.
There were three feet Of water in the
cabins and the stores and provision were
mostly injured or washed out. The
wheel gear, the chocks and lower bridge
deck were washed away and the star
board light smashed H. The forecastle
was carried away and the men had to
STAY in the sail lockers. It WAS simply
risling ones TO so forward or to be on
deck. Several Of the f-emen and sailors
were disabled, but none seriously in
jured. In the judgment Of tie officers
on boari; the Darlington would never
have weathered the storm ii she had
been heavily laden. The relief men bid
each other goodbye in separating, and
the staunchest and Oldest seamen wore
blanched faces and resigned themselves
TO the mercies Of Providence. The seri-
Gus and frightful part OF the voyage was
over. JhSyind had subsidized and the
waves y ere levcled, bat other disagree
able conditions prevailed on beard.
1t was on Christmas day that al desired
q Budding in comnenoration OF the an
niversary. Dishes and utensils had been
broken and mashed, and while there
were considerable provisions IN coudi-
tion to use there were no facilities for
cooking them. The condition Of affairs
called into requisition the genius Of
Captain William Smith, the chief en-
gineer, and the first mate, who set to
work. to improvise vessel in which to
prepare: a Christmas pudding. They
secured two pieces OF broken pans and
bound them closely with copper wire
and closed the seams with -four paste so
that It would hold water tolerabiy well.
BY this means all hands We're treated to

Hotel Keeping.

Some curious statistics have recently
appeared respecting the results Of hotel
keeping in Switzerland. There is prob
ably no district in the world which is so
much OF pleasure resort as this little
republic, and the amount Of money in
vested in providing living accommoda-
tons for pleasure seekers, is probably
much larger there than anywhere else.
There are said to be nearly 1000 hotels,
as distinguished fron inns and taverns,
these giving employment TO lG,OOO ser
wants. The value OF these hotels Is about
50,000,00G, while the furniture is valued
at $l5, 900, 900. The gross annual in
come, based upon the average Of the
last few years, is 5lO,6OO,O0O, the ex-
penscs S1,200, 900, leaving u net profit of
3, 100. 900, which is not = large gain,
considering the sum ol money invested.
Il would be interesting if statistics of
similar character could be collected of
various districts in this country, though
we imagine these returns would show
smaller Investments and larger profits
